i am using debian-sid, so unstable and testing might have a smaller list.

there is also google and using gimptool to install them one at a time.

Thank you, I do have all of these, they came up through a search in apt-get. I asked the question because I have noticed that there are some folks that keep apt-get repositories to help folks like me out.

first thing is, i was confused. debian sid == debian unstable, sorry.

it is easier just to use gimptool to install plug-ins. to get the gimptool you need to have the developer version of libgimp installed "libgimp2.0-dev" is what debian calls it. to use gimptool, typing "gimptool --help" is the easiest thing, so i never committed the typing sequence into my memory.

actually, there was talk about having gimptool work like apt ....

also, gimp is built by people who run debian, so if you should ever think it to be fun or interesting to build your own gimp, it should be no problem for you. actually there is one cool reason, adding the color tools back into the toolbox. it is an easy hack and even if the code has changed since i wrote this page, you can easily search for the line and follow these instructions:
http://carol.gimp.org/gimp/hacks/source/getthetoolsout.html you can have a cooler gimp than anyone getting binaries from their distribution.

it has been more fun for me to learn to use gimp than learn how to use debian, although, learning debian was not bad.

did i answer your question?
